Popcorn first came into his life as the first pet of his daughter, Lily. In January 2025, he posted a life update on his TikTok account in which he stated that he had become engaged to be married. The video featured an original song about Popcorn's impact on his and his family's lives and the legacy he leaves behind after having sadly passed away at the age of 2½.
